great flourish of trumpets, remaks the Cam
bridge Jebersonian, passed an act abolishing
all colored schools in Ohio. A protest went
up from colored teachers and white Republi-
can parents. Now they dare not enforce, but
ignominiously ignore their law. They set a
trap to catch and hold the colored voter, but
when he objected to the deadfall they un-
baited and ran.

SCANDAL MoNoERS,

Do you hear the scandal mongers
 Passing byl Breat thing poison in a " hisper,
 In a sigh? Moving cautiously and slow, Smiling sweetly as they go. Never noisy-giiding smoothly as a snake Slipping here and slipping there Through the meadows fresh and fair, Leaving subtle slime and poison in their
 wake. Saw you not the scandal monger Reaming brightly meath the roses
 On aer hat? In her dainty gloves and dress Angel like and nothing less, , Seemed she, casting smiles and pleasing
 words about, Once she shrugged and shook her head Raised her eyes and nothing said, When you spoke of friends, ana yet u teit
 doubt. Did you watch the scandal monger
 At the ball? Through the music Thy thm, beauty,
 Light and all, Moving here and moving there, With whisper light as air, Casting shadows on sister woman iaihe- Just a whispered word or glance, As she hoated through the dance, And a doubt forever hangs upon name You will find the scandal mongers
 Everywhere Sometimes men, but often women,
 Ynnng and fair Yet their tongues drip fouiest slime, And they spend their leisure time Casting mud on those who climb by work ana
 worth,
 Shun them, shun them as you gO- Shun them, whether high or low, They are but the cursed serpents ot the earth

Filtration in the Treasury Corridors.

Filtration in the Treasury Corridors.
 Washington Dispatch to Philadelphia Ledger.
 Love laughs at Treasury regulations as well as at locksmith. Some time ago the chief clerk of the Treasury Department issued an order prohibit ing clerks from visiting and prom ending the corridors during business hours. Prior to this regulation the Treasury girls spent considerable time m visiting each other and in walking leisurely around the corridors with tavorite masculine clerks. For time the new order eflectually suppressed the abuse aimed at, as all persons found visiting and walking about idly were reported to the chief clerk. The order still produces good results, yet many male and female clerks with a disposition for firtations, have devised A plan by which they may enjoy il promenade of mile without being detected by the minioBs of the chief clerk. The treasury building ia about three hundred by two hundred feet in dimensions. It k quadraBgular In front, with central wing stretching from east to west, thus coverting the building into double quadrangle Two elevators located in distant corn CTS of the building carry all corners from floor to floor. The length of tho corridors of each story extended in straight line is full quarter ofa mile, and as there are four stories we have A full mile of corridors, forming, with their tiled floors, frescoed walls and vaulted ceilings, most charming promenade. To bc found lettering on any particular floor is to insure a re- port and reprimand, aul rcpetition of the offense brings admonitiOD of suspension or discharge. Some of the girls of the treasury are smart, as well as pretty, and have devised plan bv which they may join each other and their beaux without fear of the chief clerk and his sentiDels. Meeting at an appointed honr and place, the couples will promenade the entire length of the corridors on one floor, and then, taking seperate elevators so as to avoid detection, will proceed to the next floor, and leisureiy continue their "spooniDg' while they make the cir cult of it's corridors. This s repeated until they have traversed the corri- dors of the four foors, when each will repair to his and her proper division, using both elevators for this purpose, having walked mile, killed a half hours time, and had "loveIy time" while so engaged.

streak of luck in workin' out his reforms, but now there is change in the administration in that country. A tenderfoot from Egypt took hold of the ranch and Joe, because he held to such good prin- ciples on the Mormon question, got into difficulty with this new half breed Mormon, and the consequence was, soon found himself behind the prison doors.
 Pards, how often in this world do you see an innocent individual suffer for the wrongs of others who are no ornament to society but blot on hu- manity's face, and vet they prosper as the world counts prosperity. It is just this principle of suffering, the innocent for the guilty,-that leads me to think there must be in the "far away land that is fairer than day" a place where these things will be righted, where the even hand of jus tice will sec to it that every one of Us will be treated fairly and as we de- serve, the chords of harmony which vibrate from that sweet music of do ing unto others as we would wish them to do unto Us" becomes so en- tangled with discord, their sweetness often turns to the bitter, and we are alone with only the wish in our hearts ] for this Beulah land.
 These were dark days for Joe, but l the prisoners and even the jailor took to him, so he had many privileges. Don't you sec how honesty tells un- der the many difficulties which often 1 gather around an innocent sufferer? But the weary days and lonely nights Joe passed in jail were not without Il ray of sunshine. He somehow had faith to believe that pardon would come to him, and it did in this way : Two of his fellow prisoners had dreams; Joe told them what they meant, and they told this new boss of the ranch what a smart fellow he was in dreams. His pardon was signed at once.
 Don't you mix Joe up with these latter day fortune-tellers and seventh sons of seventh sons, who for twenty five cents try to make you believe they can tell you what you think and what you don't think, mostly the lat ter, instead of making an honest liv- ing as rough carpenters.
 Pards, most of you are in the habit of using hard, swearing oaths, and without the least excuse. Pm not very we'll up in the rules of grammar, but if you can show me on what principle you sandwich these profane words in between our good old An glo-Saxon words, I'll consider my ed- ucation complete. In all of Joe's sad experience no words of this kind came out of his mouth. His mother taught him better, so did yours. Why not remember her loving face and sweet counsel away out here in Slushy Gulch?

My Personal Finances.


 By 1857 I was out of debt for col lege expenses, and even with the world. At the time of my marriage November II, 1s5s-I had accumu- lated about twelve hundred dollars the result of my salary and of lectur- ing before some literary associations. We lived very economically and fru- gally, and-still continuing to teach and lecture-I was worth when l went into the army, in July, 1861, about three thousand dollars.
 After about years service ill the army I returned home deadly sick, and, when sufficiently recovered, went on to Washington to serve on the Fitz John Porter court martial. On my return home I was assigned to Rose crans, who then commanded the army of the Cumberland. I was at home only one day and two nights, but dur ing that time I bought the house at Hiram, for which paid $l,200. While was away with Rosecsans at this time my wife built au addition to the Hiram house, at a cost of a thous- and dollars. When I returned from the war, in December, 1868, was worth this house, costing $2,2o0, and nearly s3,000 besides; that is, while in the army had saved about s2,ooo.
 If they propose to discuss the ques- tion of honesty, here is point. Dur ing my army life, as the Chief of Rose crans staff, was asked twenty times in a day to grant permits to go through the lines and trade in cotton. By doing this I could have made my self rich: and yet I came out of my two and halt years service, having saved, in all that time, only two thous- nd,-and my pay as brigader had been three thousand year, and for the last few months, as major general, five thousand. I had to pay for my own horse and uniform, though we have some few allowances. had of course, to live like gentleman and to support my family, but neither my wife nor spent money neediessly.
 served in the army up to the 5th of December, 1863, resigned one day, and took my seat in congress the next. I had not even time, coming direct from the field as did with dispatches, to get a suit of civilians clothes. I delivered my dispatches to Lincoln and Halleck from Rosecrans, went over the ground with them, and then took my seat in the house. I stayed in WashiD0tOn alone the fl rst winter. leaving my wife and our little Harry at Hiram. When I got home from that session, and we were sitting to- gether in our little parlor. my wife slipped into my hand little memo randum that she had made. In it she had figured out that we had been married four years and three quarters, and had lived together only twenty weeks.-By Prevalent GarJseld.

AFTER DEATH.
Yonih,a Com nAn,nn

F 1o0ths COmpahion,
 An old man Is still living in one of our large cities who has spent half of his property in costly monument which is to be placed over his grave when he is dead. He has given vast amount of time to tho preparation of the inscription ta be graven on it.
 Of himself there will be no men, ton, beyond his name and the date ot his death. One side of the shaft con tains lesson in system of phonetic spelling which he has discovered. and the other is devoted to a brief resume of the philosophy which his life has taught him.
 The old man is reganied as insane, but the idea in itself is pASonAhle, For man to place upon his tomb stone the most helpful work which he has done, and the highest truths which he has learned In life, Is snrely moro il and rational offering to mankind than the usual laudations of the for gotten dead.
 X wealthy woman in q western clty i spent, n few years ago, an immense sum upon vault and monument for the reception ot her own body. She had also prepared costly coffin, a shroud of satin and rarc lace, and every detail of her last dress, She l had written accurate directions as to ] her funeral, and the length of time which her body was to bc kept before i burial, and had even made q list of the i pall- bearers.
 ] While making short journey, she was Killed In Il railway collision and i her body was burned to charretl mass. IL was buried, wIth other in- 1 distinguishable human fragments. In A common grave, and rests unmarked,
 Yet hers was not the weakness of a single person. "A man." says Fallon, ais not likely to make his body his chief thought for forty or seventy years and then abandon 1t after death without thought"
 Men, since the beginning of the world, have devised plans to protect their bodies with rcverent care after death But of all the myriads of be- loved and honored human remains that have been hidden in tho earth since time began, there is not one that has escaped an ignominious ruin.
 The Egyptians embalmcd the re- mains of their dead with extraordi- nary care, placed the mummies In rocky tombs, and then hid the tombs. Thieves and curiosity hunters have found and rifled the tombs, and put the bodies of the mightiest Egyptian kings on exhibition.
 The Angel of Death seems almost to show grim humor In mocking the vain efforts of men to save the body once so dear to them. "lt Is not the place or time of my death, but the manner of my life, that concerns me, ; said holy man of the old times. "All placcs." said Shakespeare, (which the eye of God doth visit are to the wise man ports and happy havens.'

 American Review for August
 What then is the fmsis of this re- ligion which you despiscl At the foundation of every form of religious faith and worship k the idea of God. Here you take your stand you do not believe in God. Of course you do not deny absolutely the existence of Il creative power, for that would Ike to assume n Knowledge which no human being can possess. How small is the distance that we can zee before us !! The candle of our intelligence throws its beams but little way, beyond which the circle of light is composed by universal darkness. Upon this no one insists more than yourself. 1 have heard you discourse upon the iDsig- nificance of man in way to put many preachers to shame. remem- bcr your illustration from the my yriads of creatures that live on plants, from which yon picked out, as rcprcsen- tative of man, aD insect too small to bc seen by the naked eye, whose world was A icaf and whose life lasted but single day! Surely creature that can only bc seen with micro. scope cannot know that Creator does not exist.
 Having settled it to your own =st- isfactIon that there is no God, you proceed in the same easy way to dis pose of that other belief which lies at the foundation of all religion.-~the im- mortality of the soul With an air of modesty and difidcDce that would carry an audience by storm, you con fess your ignorance of what perhaps others are better acqnaiD.d with when you say, This world is all that know anything about, so far as I recoIlect." TbIs k very wittily put, and some may suppose il contains aD argument but do you really mean to say that you do not know any thing except what you "reeoIlecp or what you have seen with your eyes? Perhaps you never saw your grand parents; but have you any more doubt of their existence than tl,st of your father and mother whom you did sces
